1. Support new players. If you see someone running around in a robe, wizard hat, with a spellbook with 15 spells, you know they're brand new character. Say hi, welcome to Siege, and ask if they have any questions.

2. Be visible, interact! Even if it's interacting with Corp Por.

3. There are many people here who try and run events for the betterment of the shard, support the events even if you don't like the people. The turnout has been abysmal for player run events. I gave up on Story Night because the last Story Night had 3 participants. Sweeny tried to get a bagball league going which no one supported, my guess being that there are those that don't like Sweeny. The Introduction to Siege event that Hoffs ran had 4 non GIL members show up. Speedy is trying hard for ideas with his event but I'm not seeing enough support.

The problem is that no event can cater to everyone, so someone says their holding mage duels and the warriors complain, well what about us warriors? Sweeny puts on a bagball league that people don't participate in because they don't like bagball. So we end up having no events put on. I'd rather we have some events run by people we don't like that cater to some but not all character templates than none at all.

Hi Zoop, if you go mining at Minoc mines without a jester hat on, you'll get pk'd if you don't agree to wear one. The THIEF guild base is behind the Minoc stables (it's called Barter Town) and they sell the hats there. *winks*

I hope you give Siege a bit longer, it's all a go-go sometimes....really.

I used to use east brit bank way back in the old days, lots of memories there. But its a bit too far from the gate for those without magery. I'll go yo the brit farms from the gate, np. What about west brit bank? What if we called fri, sat and sun eves the eves to be in brit for some reason. Hell I can go bolt up some wool there or something.

Someone mentioned something about that wrong bank stable arena that got me thinking about our arenas, so my thoughts are if we as a community could designate this location as a no gank location instead lets use this arena as a PVP location lets just fight 1v1's in the arena.

this doesnt mean if your getting ganked run there thinking its safe its not im just saying if im sitting there in the arena waiting for a fight dont call in a gank squad just walk into the arena and lets 1v1.

Im also not saying its a fight night either, looting should remain optional im just saying dont gank

hell we as a community should declare all arena's as a no gank location but remember this doesnt mean a safe location just no ganking
